Volume Calculation Guidelines

Typical Safety Margins:

• Mobile equipment: 15-20%

• Industrial systems: 20-25%

• Critical applications: 25-30%

Reservoir sizing: 3-5x pump flow (GPM)

Volume Conversions:

• 1 gallon = 3.785 liters

• 1 gallon = 231 cubic inches

• 1 cubic foot = 7.48 gallons

Note: Add 10-15% for thermal expansion
